This will be -- as all @hullnoir.bsky.social events are -- excellent! (Also Layer Cake got kind of lost in the big British Crime Film boom, but it was so much better than most of them)
Chuffed to have the opportunity to do this 👇

If you live in Hull, enjoy a bit of crime fiction, and love hearing writers talk about their work I would absolutely recommend going to a Hull Noir evening.

A quick trip to @jebookshull.bsky.social to pick up a signed copy of #TheFridayGirl from Julie. I couldn't make it to @hullnoir.bsky.social on Wednesday but caught some of it on the livestream. Thanks to @russeldmclean.bsky.social for signing my copy

Another great evening at Hull Noir. Russel was a great speaker, and really did an excellent job describing Dundee as a sort of Scottish Gotham City, rife with serial killers, corrupt coppers and counterfeit marmalade (each crime obviously more heinous than the other).

I enjoyed "Cast No Shadow", the latest crime novel from the godfather of @hullnoir.bsky.social, @nickquantrill.bsky.social - complete with one deeply disconcerting main character being my namesake. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental....or is it?

We're gearing up to welcome Russel to @hulllibraries.bsky.social, 13th August. 'The Friday Girl' is a heady noir brew taking us back to Dundee, 1978...
